This season has been filled with stunt casting on various sitcoms. Bringing in famous faces to booster ratings has been a theme. Some work well in the story, and occasionally fit in as well as a regular. Here are my thoughts on many of the latest ’stunt casts’.

Britney Spears, HIMYM: I […]

Last month the writers of “CSI” and “Two and a Half Men” announced they were swapping writers for a single episode. CBS has posted behind the scenes video of from the writers room.

Part I Here
Part II Here

I still think it is an interesting idea, and I will get me to watch “Two and a […]

HBO’s “Lucky Louie” was a simple yet funny show. Louis C.K. and Pamela Adlon worked great together and made the show very entertaining. They will be reuniting to write and star in a CBS sitcom, with a familiar premise. Hollywood Reporter has:

Last night, Timothy Olyphant guest starred on “Samantha Who?” as one of Samantha’s bosses. Having an actor of his caliber on the show can only mean good things, and there were.
I like the idea of Sam not fawning over Todd, and Funk was a perfect distraction. The revelation that she had a serious […]

Last night on “My Name Is Earl” we continue the story with Earl in a coma. In his coma state, Earl dreams of being in a “Leave It To Beaver” style sitcom, The Hickeys. It worked in its debut, but now seems overused.
Yes, some of the funniest parts of the episode were within […]

Sarah Chalke’s guest spot on “How I Met Your Mother” was somewhat overshadowed by the stunt casting of Britney Spears. But, I thought she was great, and that her character is perfect for a on again, off again love interest for Ted. TVGuide is reporting a possible return.

I’m hearing from multiple sources that […]

NPH is apparently not a fan of Briteny Spears’ appearance. Thats cool, niether was I!Yahoo TV reports.

Paris plays herself in this episode. It appears that she’s continuing to make fun […]

Could this be the first hint […]

“The New Adventures of Old Christine” is the first post-Seinfeld television success for a star from the legendary series. The new season begins tonight at 9:30PM ET. Christine does not deserve the way CBS treats it. Being brought in like a mid-season replacement is no way to treat this award winning series. […]

The first new My Name Is Earl in a month aired tonight and it was a good one. It was called Bad Earl, so you can gather from that title Earl was not his usual kind and helpful self. I don’t want to get into spoilers, so I’ll leave it at that.

But, this […]
